Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Pick and Preview

These 2 teams met on Tuesday with the Thunder snapping the Nuggets 6-game winning streak and that game was important to Oklahoma City winning their first game in Denver since they moved from Seattle. As is stands right now this game would be a preview of a first round playoff series. Even though the Thunder beat the Nuggets on Tuesday they would rather not play them in the post-season and for that to happen they will have to catch the Mavericks, who they only trail by 1 game for the 3rd spot in the Western Conference.

In their last games on Wednesday night the Nuggets beat the Dallas Mavericks 104-96 and the Thunder wrapped up the Northwest Division with a 112-108 win over the L.A. Clippers.

This season the Thunder are 29-10 at home and the Nuggets are 17-22 on the road. The Thunder have won 2 of 3 games against the Nuggets this season.

Denver has played great since trading away Carmelo Anthony, as their defense has been much better while they are still the highest scoring in the league. In their loss to the Thunder on Tuesday night C Nene and F Wilson Chandler only scored a combined 12 points on 5/19 shooting. These guys have to score for the Nuggets to win this game.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are the big guns for the Thunder and if these guys have big scoring games the Thunder will likely win. In the win over the Clippers on Wednesday night this duo combined to score 55 points.

Denver has a few injury concerns in this game with G Arron Afflalo, C Chris Anderson, and C Timofey Mozgov all questionable for this game.

Thunder C Kendrick Perkins was a great pickup for the Thunder, as before they traded for him Oklahoma City had a weak interior defense. He had 14 boards in the win over the Nuggets earlier this week and Denver cannot allow him to dominate glass again.

In the win over the Nuggets the thunder held Denver to only 42.9% shooting from the floor, but in the win over the Clippers they allowed L.A. to shoot 50.6% from the floor and if they allow Denver to shoot like that their 2-game winning streak may end.

This season Denver is 41-33-4 ATS and Oklahoma City is 40-37-1 ATS. Denver has only covered the spread one time in their last 6 visits to Oklahoma City.

Denver is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road games and has an Under record of 5-0-1 in their last 6 road games and Oklahoma City is 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and has an Under record of 11-4 in their last 15 games.
